Reply to: New Sails for a Nacra

Message body

[quote=samc99us]Look, no offense to the guys above, and I'm sure SLO sails make a great product as does Schurr (who was building to Randy Smyths design I believe), but you're looking for sails for a fully blown race boat, not the family Nacra 5.2 that you bounce around the beach on....

If you're still racing the I20/N20 in a one design fleet, EP is the only class legal sailmaker, and builds a good product.

The Schurr Open 20 sails I am confident are faster in light air than the stock setup but seemed really over powered in breeze and I'm not sure about the build quality. The ones I saw were on an aluminum rigged N20, which is a rare beast and a completely different mast shape/bend etc. than the stock I20/N20 carbon stick.

Now, if you aren't racing in a one design fleet, I'd be having a long conversation with Jay Glaser. They build really fast sails and are one of only 2 sailmakers in the U.S building competitive F18 sails (North being the other). If you aren't building competitive F18 sails, you are simply behind the times on sail development. So, they would be my go-to choice, especially since they have already a set of fast, proven sails for the 20-they were used to win the last Great Texas race if I'm not mistaken.[/quote]
